Updated - 31 Oct 2020, 04:57 PM
Chennai Super Kings will host Kings XI Punjab in the IPL 2020 clash at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. CSK have noting to lose in the tournament and have clinched victories in their last two games. But an IPL 2020 playoffs berth is at stake for KXIP who have to win the match by big margin.
CSK have found a brilliant opener in form of Ruturaj Gaikwad. He will expected to fire for the side along with Shane Watson. Ambati Rayudu will be the key at the top order while Ravindra Jadeja will look to play the role of a finisher. The fast bowling department will largely depend on Deepak Chahar.
Ruturaj Gaikwad
Ruturaj Gaikwad has looked in good form at the top of the order. He has been in free flowing form and looked to paddle sweep some of the finest fast bowlers with ease. Gaikwad had batted down the order for sometime before being dropped. But returning to his actual batting position as an opener, he has proved his capabilities.
Shane Watson
Veteran Australia opener Shane Watson has been a crucial member of the CSK squad over the years. Watson has been extremely important for CSK to get them off to a good start. He has shown in the last two matches that he can still hit those big ones.
Faf du Plessis
Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has looked in form for CSK in the IPL 2020. He has shown his brilliance with two splendid knocks. But the concern for the Chennai franchise will be that they are highly dependent on the South African and if on a day, he doesn’t works then CSK might face a big problem.
Ambati Rayudu
Ambati Rayudu has been important for CSK at top of the order. It will be an added boost for the CSK as they have struggled to find balance in the middle-order. A lot will be expected of Rayudu in the match and if he clicks then CSK will look like a tough team.
